Impact Gate (Self-Closing Pallet Gate)
Spring-loaded steel gate panels that open as the forklift drops the pallet through and close again behind it, so nobody has to open them by hand at the edge. They are common in pallet-flow and pick-module drop zones. Made to suit the bay: single or double pallet, 2 or 3 rails, and rack-mounted or freestanding.

A self-closing pallet gate built from six independent spring-loaded arms on integrated casters, so a strike damages one arm rather than the whole gate — and that arm is replaced individually. The arms close behind the load automatically, keeping a barrier at the edge whether the pallet is in place or not. Widths of 4, 6 and 8 ft at 42″ high, with clearances of 48″, 72″ and 96″ for roll-formed and structural rack.
- Height: 42″
- Widths: 4 ft · 6 ft · 8 ft
- Clearances: 48″ · 72″ · 96″
- Arms: 6 independent spring-loaded arms, individually replaceable
An all-welded tubular steel gate that pivots so one side is always closed: as the loading side opens, the edge side closes, and the worker is never exposed to the drop. The manufacturer cites OSHA fall-protection requirements for elevated work surfaces (29 CFR 1910.28 / 1910.29). Standing 79.5″ high and 66″ deep, in single-pallet (63″ W) and double-pallet (120″ W) versions with clear openings from 55″ to 120″.
- Height: 79.5″ · Depth 66″
- Single pallet: 63″ wide
- Double pallet: 120″ wide
- Clear openings: 55″ · 60″ · 72″ · 96″ · 108″ · 120″
A pallet-drop gate that keeps the edge guarded while it is loaded: raise one side and the other comes down, so there is always a rail between the platform and the drop. The frame is cut to width on site, from 10 ft down to 3 ft, which suits openings that aren’t a standard size. It takes pallets up to 6′-1″ high and 7′-1″ deep.
- Action: One side closes as the other opens
- Interior width: Cut to fit on site, 109-1/8″ down to 25-1/8″ (outside 120″ to 36″)
- Pallet clearance: 7′-1″ deep × 6′-1″ max pallet height
- Footprint: Outside width 120″ to 36″ × 84-1/2″ D × 85-7/16″ H
